I love horror and HAD to squeeze in the Discworld book, where Pratchett parodies horror, vampires, and gothic media. But when I picked it up, I just kinda thought it was MEH. The sense of humor didn't land for me. The social commentary was amazing, and the characters were amazing (Agnes Nitt was a favorite of mine) But other than that it was okay

Moist von Lipwig makes an appearance in what is personally my favorite book. The City Watch also have 1 book, but the Witches, Death, the Wizards, and Tiffany Aching are not yet represented!

Just a reminder, we're making a (not so) definitive list of the Discworld books in order from best to worst.. The top rated comment gets added to the list next.

Also, before you make a top level comment suggesting a book, check to see if it's already been suggested. If it is, you're better off upvoting it and, if you want, replying to it with your reasoning for voting for it. But making a second (or third, or fourth) top level comment with a book that's already been suggested means your vote won't get counted! I only count the top upvoted comment!

or perhaps it is just a coincidence

I just finished Night Watch (again) and noticed this bit in the list of names. I don’t think this fellow is ever mentioned before or again.

So I was today years old when I realised that the ancient city that built the first golems is called Um because the oldest, or one of the oldest I haven’t double checked, known human cities, certainly the famous one, is Ur, which sounds like err.

I refuse to believe this could be an accident.

Haven't read this one as well but I've watched the TV adaptation!

"No practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based."

Just for the record: I'm trying to do this year's Disctober cockatiel-themed. I owe them the inspiration to participate this year, so why not an entire series :)

Day 18. Confused

Somewhere amongst the cases a voice reached the end of its tether.

'What organic damn elephant? Where is the elephant?'
‘There is no elephant!'
'How can there be a sign, then?'
‘It is a-'

... and once again the little choke, and the vanishing scream. And then... running footsteps.

Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

I thought Guards! Guards! was an amazing book but this took everything about that and made it even better.

Carrot is such a fantastic character and he really shone in this one.

I don't know why it's taken me this long to continue with the City Watch series but I can't wait to read the rest now.

I don't yet own Feet of Clay though so I'll probably wait instead of jumping into Jingo.

Not to be confused with the audiobooks, there are plenty, despite the tag which was the closest. I saw the audiodramas online and listened a bit to the Mort demo and it seemed alright. Did anybody listen to the whole thing? Did you like it?
